This is Vladimir Putin, president of Russia since 2000, leader of men, tamer of wild beasts. Look at that pathetic animal on which he sits. Its spirit is broken. It bends to Putin’s will and to the muscular weight atop it. This is a horse that knows struggle is futile. Should it rear up or kick out against its master it knows it will feel the full force of Russia’s security apparatus - the leader of which is Vladimir Putin - after feeling the full force of a disgruntled Vladimir Putin. KGB FSB agents are trained to kill a horse with two fingers. Vladimir Putin can kill it with one. This clifftop is very high.
For a country which practices Sharia, this is surprisingly… open.
They wouldn’t let us take photos inside, but it was full of toys, tools, and all the different kinds of things you can do to make a condom more interesting.
Extra3: Putin Kampfsclumpf
Okay, this cracked me up. I didn’t expect that.
The setting is Lake Peipus, where the Russians from the Republic of Novgorod faced off against a Livonian branch of the Teutonic Knights. It’s a famous event for Russian patriotism, though there’s a lot of historical debate as to whether it even happened.
The famous legend is that Alexander Nevsky fought the Teutons on the frozen lake, and that the lake broke under the weight of the Teutons. Historical evidence suggests it was just a little fight of maybe 50 people, and that Nevsky saw the benefit of coming back like it was a triumph. The Teutons didn’t write anything about it.
But again, the point is the legend. And watch the video. It honestly cracked me up.
I miss that show. I always felt it was funnier in England/Europe than in America.
It was mutually agreed by friends of mine some time ago that anytime someone asks you to come and watch a movie with them, it really means “I want to do the nasty with you.”
“Watch a movie” just makes it sound legitimate. Also it gives you a good reason to cuddle before slipping off to the bedroom.
The irony is that sometimes you really do just want to watch a movie with someone, and hopefully they don’t get the wrong idea.
